Sick as a dog

You know how some weeks are just sick weeks? Well thats what it has been here in our house- the sick week. Sunday Grandma had a nasty stomach virus but recovered shortly there after. She promptly passed that to Gabe and David Hyrum on Monday. Between the two boys we must have been up till 2:00 changing sheets, pajamas, and dispensing comfort. Luckily this was also short lived but Gabe had a lingering ear ache that we went to the doctor's for on Tuesday. One doctor's visit and a neat little 4$ bottle of Amoxicillin later, he is well on his way back to chipper Gabe. Wednesday was Zach's day. After work he stopped by the minute clinic to be diagnosed and treated for strep. Thursday was my day, I was layed out flat for 24 hours with something resembling the flu- fever, neausa, and total body aches. It was a huge blessing that Zach was home that day and tried to pull double duty doing Mom and Dad's work. But by Friday we were all feeling at least mostly better to enjoy this beautiful sunny weekend.

We've made the most of the lovely 70 degree weather and stuck some lettuce and spinach in the garden. Zach turned the soil and the boys and I did the seeding and watering. Gabe was especially excited to have his own packet of marigold flowers to plant. I think, in his mind, flowers mark the official arrival of spring and warm weather since he doesn't quite get seasons and the calendar year yet. What is best though, it means he gets to wear shorts again, and that makes him one happy little boy.
